Hi!
Greetings from the Critique Club!

About the photo, first let me state the obvious...the photo does seem to be too dark to make out the details. With what details I can see (after increasing the brightness of my monitor), it is surely an interesting photograph.
Technically, I would like to see the photo a bit more sharp. The lighting with the torch seems abrupt...I wonder if it could have been made more seamless... I assume that the flashlight was first focussed on the feet, then on the hands with the rifle and then the face. The bright spot to light the face overlaps the shoulder part of the midsection. In my opinion, placing the hand and rifle part lower would help and balance out the light spot positions and make them symmetric along the anti-diagonal. Also some more space on the right edge would help with the photo balance.

All said and done, its a nice photo. To me it symbolizes the before, now and after of a soldiers life. Well done and keep shooting. Hope to see more great work from you.

Nice idea. More illumination would help the bullets. More DOF would help the flowers.

Needs more exposure on key parts, as it is difficult to make out a soldier, even given the title.
